Hey all, I'm very new to this, so please be nice.
I recently decided to break up with Apple, and I bought the LG WIng. Using Google Drive, I've been able to move contacts, pictures, etc. from my iPhone X to my new LG Wing. The problem I'm having is that I cannot transfer message history.
To add a lyaer of complexity, I do not have a computer. There are instruction on how to transfer messages using computer software, even iTunes, but I have access to none of this.
I read about an app called LG Mobile Switch, which can supposedly transfer messages with a cable. However, this app does not seem to be available in Apple's App Store.
Curious to know if anyone else has had this problem and what they did to overcome it.
Thanks

Not sure from an iPhone. I just used SMS backup but I was going from Android to Android. And it worked just fine.

Sorry for the delayed reply. To transfer text messages from iPhone X to LG wing, maybe you can try phone transfer tool like Coolmuster Mobile Transfer, MobileTrans, Easeus Mobimover, etc. Such tool can help us transfer text messages and other data like contacts, books(pdf&epub),music, videos, photos from iPhone to Android phone. Usually, they are not free. You need to pay for the full version. About the details, please search online. Hope this will be your help.

hey everyone, i was wondering....
I have some important text messages on my dash which i cannot delete is their anyway to like transfer all my text message from my dash to my computer or transfer it to a different rom, currently i have the factory installed rom on my dash so any help please anyone cuz im planning to get the new energy rom on my dash and i need those text messages.
Search google, I know I have seen a pogram that does what you want somewhere before.
Use SMS Tool pack.
Then you can back up your message to another rom.
(Back up to SD Card).
I used to have it.But,now it gone.
Sorry for that.
Dashwire
Another option is to use Dashwire to back up all of your messages, contacts, pictures, videos, etc.
Also PIM backup works but is hard to navigate as it's built for PPC but i've used it in the past.
I recommend Dashwire too, I just wish I could back up the calender also. But its free and works great, I never had a problem with it.
just installed dashwire myself and I must say, it's a VERY nice app. I hope when they're talking about an unlimited 'data' plan that unlimited web falls under that, since that's what t-mobile is calling it
I'm coming from a Nokia 5800. Although the software was buggy as hell, Ovi Suite was still a great piece of software to sync all of my phone's data to a local copy of my PC (as opposed to Google's nosy cloud storage).
Ideally looking for something that could archive my contacts--as well as abilities to create/change/delete on my PC which would then sync with the phone. Also download all SMS's, photos/videos taken, and manage music.
If what I've read is true, google music should take care of this, its supposedly an itunes-like software

Check out Double Twist. There is PC software and an app. Not sure if it would cover all your needs (ive never used it), but it appears to be a decent itunes clone for not just Android but other devices.
theres an app callled mybackup in the market. it will back everything up to the sdcard, then u can copy backup to pc if this helps.
Since people aren't too familiar with Ovi Suite: I need something like Palm Desktop for Android, and I don't want to pay $40 for CompanionLink.
Dude, you need to learn to love the cloud.
From GMail/GMaps/GVoice/GDocks/GCal/Picassa, I have every email, sms, voicememo, picture, video, call history, transcribed voicemail, task, appointment, map location, contact, document, etc. All from any webbrowser in any location, all damn-near instantly synced with my phone.
...but to answer you question, search for HTC Sync. I think it only works with Sense tho, so you will have to wait and flash the Z firmware once the hackers make the g2 flashable.

Dude, I love the cloud.
But I also love having a local copy on my computers (which I back up regularly and save to my Dropbox). Being able to edit contacts and calendar entries without having to bring up a webpage is huge to me.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
I live and work on the cloud. I never run any backups. I store nothing locally other than 4TB of pirated moves/tv. Being able to access everything from anywhere even if my house has no electricity is huge to me.
What's so bad about opening up a webpage? Opening outlook or whatever doesn't seem any different to me. Unless I am using my computer as a TV, all I ever need from it is a webbrowser, which is nice since every computer and smartphone in the world has one.
I do program ASP.NET/Win32/other and need that dev environment, but that too is all running on a VirtualPC in the cloud.
Not all of us always have constant data access, nor want to depend on it.
Plus, the difference between a webpage and outlook is MASSIVE.

I know this is a pointless argument, but I am curious if you have ever given gmail with gtalk-desktop in your tray a real chance?
I used outlook at a job for work and personal for 6 years, then used outlook for work another 5 while using gmail for personal, and for the last 2 I have been gmail only. I always had the newest version on the newest os, but not in the last 2 years.
In outlook I was always sorting and running a search all was always dog slow. I can find anything in gmail as easily as finding any webpage with google. Gmail integrates with google calendar just as well as outlook and they can sync to eachother. Just sayin.
...anyway, did you look in to HTC Sync? Also, you could always run an exchange server at home and sync over the air.

I'd probably choose services that keep the home PC synced with the cloud, keeping a local copy of what GMail etc use. Enough people do that that there are tools for that, and of course your phone syncs easily with the cloud. I think enough Android users drink the Google kool aid that there's not as much interest in syncing directly phone to PC without using the cloud as an intermediary. After years of wired syncing, I'm thrilled to have it work without any work on my part, personally.
But a search did turn up both The Missing Sync for Android and Handset Manager - both look to still be a bit buggy, but maybe they'll do the job or be worth watching.
We need HTC to make HTC Sync for non-Sense phones. Period.

Totally agree, That's the only way to go, really. When I moved up from my Moto Cliq to the G2 it took all of 5 minutes to get my phone the way I wanted. The hardest part was customizing my icon on the home screen. The data all synced from Google. My list of installed apps was backed up via "App List Backup" and I just re-installed them. Done.

i developed whatsappmigrator that does exactly this! (free, android app)
WhatsAppMigrator: move your Whatsapp history from iPhone to Android
http://www.whatsappmigrator.com
You can download a pc tool named iPhone WhatsApp to Android Transfer to help. It lets you transfer and merge whatsapp chat messages from iPhone to Android directly on computer. Easy to use.
Hope it helps.
Transfer iPhone Whatsapp Chat History to Android
Have you backup for you data on your iTunes? If yes, you can find them in the folder which is belong to iTunes. Or you may also use iTunes to save your iPhone data and then move them on your new phone by connecting it with your computer. If you don't use iTunes, you can move your iPhone's data to your computer by using this method.
Mail it (obvious for smaller data volumes)
Use WiFi transfer - you need iPhone to be connected to the same network as the PC. On my android phone tethering and connect both the iPhone and the PC to this WiFi.
Then just use WiFi whatsapp chat history transfer on iPhone. Technically the iPhone starts a FTP server and displays the URL. You connect to this URL from the PC (via whatsapp chat historyZilla, Total Commander etc.)
But you'd better pay attention when you transfer the whatsapp chat historys, you need to make sure you have already have the backup of them. Transferring whatsapp chat historys may cause the whatsapp chat history-loss problem. Here is a post for avoiding whatsapp chat history-loss problem may be helpful for you.

Hello,
Has anybody found an alternative solution to Wazzapmigrator (as it is not free on android play anymore). I am looking to moving all whatsapp chats and media from an iphone to a new samsung handset.
Look forward to your comments.
cheers!
When I recently upgraded my iPhone 4s to iPhone 6, I was stuck with WhatsApp problem. For some people, it isn't much of an issue; they don't care about losing the old chat history and they are quite happy to start over. But I'm not one of them. So I want to transfer WhatsApp Messages from the old iPhone to the new one.
Thankfully, I found both iTunes and iCloud can give me a hand in this problem. In this post, I'll share with you three ways to transfer WhatsApp messages from iPhone to iPhone.
Way 1: Restore WhatsApp chat history to new iPhone from iCloud backup
Way 2: Transport your WhatsApp chats to a new iPhone by using WhatsApp iCloud backup
Way 3: Move WhatsApp messages from iPhone to iPhone with iTunes Backup
In the other hand, if you want to erase some of your iPhone feature you can used iPhone data eraser, this will help you in erase iphone call history, erase iphone contacts, delete iphone photos and etc.
Hi all,
I know this might be blasphemy but I wanted to try using an iPhone XS Max, but the move to iOS app will not connect the iPhone to my Pixel 2XL. It will connect fine with my old Nexus phone running android 8.0.
Has anyone tried using the move to iOS app using android 9.0 and/or the Pixel 2XL?
I tried on a OnePlus on 9.0.. it didn't work either.
I did this exact same swap. Pixel XL2 to iPhone XS Max. I love the new phone very much. I could not get the swap app to work either. I am getting by without anything transferred. I did a backup of my sms to Gmail and also use google photos on my iPhone. I really don’t need much else.

Thanks, could you let me know how you did the sms backup to Gmail? Did that allow you to transfer your texts to the iPhone or are they just stored in gmail for reference?
I didn’t get the sms to transfer from the Pixel to the iPhone unfortunately. I even purchased a piece of software online and it showed the texts and went through all of the actions but never showed up on he messages app of the iPhone. I believe it was called dr.fone swap. The app I used on the pixel was called backup+ and it added a sms label in gmail and threaded all of the sms messages together just like a gmail conversation. Good luck!
Well if it helps anyone, I was able to get texts transferred using my old Nexus phone running Android 8. I transferred all my texts using sms backup and restore and the iPhone connected to the Nexus and transferred everything. The only thing that seems impossible to transfer is whatsapp messages, but I'll settle for that.
I just got my Mi 10 t pro after buying it in the singles day sales. I can't for the life of me find the app that I would use to transfer data (contacts, sms, photos at a push). I'm upgrading from an HTC U11. Googling for an answer suggests MiMover which isn't on the Xiaomi and can't be found in the Play store (from UK). ShareMe on the Mi 10 t pro has a "Mi Mover" icon inside it, but when I install Xiaomi ShareMe on the HTC, the MiMover icon isn't there.
Google backup doesn't work for me on the HTC (it shows "waiting to backup" which is possibly because the phone is encrypted).
Exporting my contacts on the HTC gave me a vef file which the Xiaomi doesn't recognise. Exporting my sms gave me an .hbk file which the xiaomi doesn't recognise.
Any clues / pointers would be welcome.
Thanks, PT
Answering my own question here:
The .vef file exported from my HTC is an encrypted vcf file. I was able to re-export this as a vcf and trasfer the file to the Xiaomi separately.
I then used SMS backup and recover to tranfer across sms and call logs.
I'm still shocked that I couldn't find / figure out the Xiaomi app to get this job done.
PT
Google backup does a really good job, most of the time. So there's really no need for a separate app. I don't know why your u11 didn't backup, but encryption isn't it, because 99% of phones today have encryption in system itself...
Sorry for the delayed reply. If you want to back up data on your Android phone to the computer easily, my suggestion is Coolmuster Android Backup Manager. Its free backup function can help us back up data like contacts, text messages, call logs, videos, music, photos, apps, ebooks from your Android phone to the computer via USB cable connecting easily. If you still has such problem, please try it. And hope it will work well on your phone.
